The Kellog-Briand Pact.
The Kellog-Briand Pact, also known as the Pact of Paris, was a multilateral agreement in 1928 attempting to outlaw war as a tool of national policy. The pact was developed by French foreign minister Aristide Briand and U.S. Secretary of State Frank Kellogg. Fifteen nations signed the pact on August 27, 1928 and 47 other countries signed later. However, the document did not stipulate any sanctions and allowed for so many exceptions–including wars of `self-defense` and obligations under the League Covenant and Monroe Doctrine–that the pact was quite ineffective.
